10. Lux
It is the amount of illumination created by a light source of 1 candela which is one metre (1m) away from the surface.
One LUX is equal to ONE LUMEN/ SQYARE metre. 1 Lux = 1 lumen / sq. m.
28. Lighting Luminaire
An assembly used to house one or more light sources. Also called lighting fixture.

48. Incandescent Lamp
Its Advantages:
1.Less Expensive
2.Easier to dim with Rheostats
3.Warmer colour than Fluorescent and Tungsten-Halogen Lamps
4.Light output is relatively high
5.Excellent colour rendering
6.Can be Dimmed
Its Dis-advantages:
1.Energy Inefficient
2.Short lamp Life Time
3.Warm source
49. Incandescent Lamp
Shape of Lamps:
Around 100 combinations of Glass and Quartz bulb shapes and sizes.
Symbols:
1stPart = One or more letters indicates the shape of bulb.
2ndPart = Number, indicates diameter of the bulb in eights of an inch
Example: A19 = Arbitrary Shaped, 19/8 inch diameter.
56. Incandescent Lamp
Lamp LifeTime:
1.Standard-Life Lamp: high temperature for the filament to operates, emits more light, shorter life time –“burns out”.
2.Long-Life Lamp: given wattage produces less light, designed for longer life.
Lamp Efficiency = Light Produced (Lumens, lm)
Electricity Consumed (Watts W)
Light Output: Insert Gas (Argon, Nitrogen, Krypton) slows bulb bickering caused by condensation on the bulb wall.
57. Incandescent Lamp
Bulbs are sold by Watts –Measure of Power Consumed.
Lumen tells how much light lamp emits.
Hours of Operation is produced life-time (750 –1000H, up to 2500H for extended service lamps).
Energy Saving Lamps –Reduced wattage, Reduced light output.
59. Non Directional
Non Directional (emits light in all directions –A, C, G, P, PS, S and T shapes, requires additional external elements for brightness, glare and distribution control)
60. Semi -Directional
Semi Directional (silver bowl or white bowl lamps, coating on inner side of bulb, reduce filament glare)
61. Directional
Directional (complete optical systems: source, reflector, lens or filament shield, R, AR, MR, PAR built-in beam control)
R reflector lamp with soft glass bulb and ellipsoid reflector with moderate focusing power.
PAR reflector lamp with pressed glass bulb and powerful parabolic reflector.
63. Tungsten -Halogen
What is Tungsten -Halogen?
Selected gas of Halogen Family.
How it Works?
Halogen gas combines with Tungsten molecules that sputter of the filament deposits Tungsten back on the Filament and Emits constant level of light.
77. Interference Filters
One or more layers of ultrathin film coating on clear glass that reflects rather than absorb unwanted wavelength.
They transmit one colour, and reflect the complementary colour.

96. LED Light
Redand Infrared LEDs are made with gallium arsenide.
Bright Blue is made with Gan –gallium nitride.
White LEDs are made with yttrium aluminium garnet
There are also orange, green, blue, violet, purple, ultraviolet LEDs.
